A Brush with Memory

A Brush with Memory: Between Home and Displacement,
A collaboration between Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Lebanon and artist Aya Debes.
Internally displaced people from South Lebanon were invited to describe from memory the homes and spaces they were forced to leave behind, places they may never see again. These memories were then transformed into illustrations, into which the individuals’ portraits are placed, creating images that merge reality with memory and capture the uncertainty and human impact of displacement, to reflect both the physical and psychological dimensions of displacement, and loss.
